"INVACUATION"

Unfortunatley for me I am still on our London offices email distribution list, and despite repreated efforts I am unable to get myself removed from the list. Normally this just results in 50-60 pointless emails a day which I delete, but occasionally it throws up a gem, such as the 1 late yesterday, infoirming me a pending invacuation drill in ourLondon office. Apparently this means theat when the fire alarm goes off instead of going outdoors to safety, you go to the basement where you will be trapped by falling rubble and masonry and then cooked until very well done in the event of a real fire. I think it is all part of a secret "headcount reduction" plan by H.R. which they are too ashamed to admit to.
